A night in the Park

Yesterday was such a memorable night---in a not-so-nice sense.
After the thai music performance, I went for dinner with my profs somewhere near Alexandra Rd. Then as agreed I was to meet Dear for the night, but he actually refused to picked me up, so I negotiated for him to pay the taxi fare for me to go to JE to meet him, $8.
We had said to have drinks but later he said to go to a park, so I thought Chinese Garden. Thus, with the pre-conceived ideal destination, I was very worked up when I realised he was taking me to another park in Bukit Batok, which we had argued and agreed that it isn’t fair to go anywhere too near one of our house. Hence we detoured to Chinese Garden.

As usual, parked car, walked through the entrance with the nice bridge. Walked a little and chat, hugs and sat down at the pagoda steps to chat more. Then at 1030 I warned him we might be locked in as I remembered the last time we were there we left at 1030pm, he said it is not such a early time, probably we’ll leave a little later, which ended up to be 1140.

To our dismay when we walked to the entrance where we came in, everything was locked!!! So we decided to find alternative entrances and hope to find one without a lock, but to no avail, so we had to spend the night there.

Yeah~ You might think how exciting just two of us spending the night out in the sort of open unprepared. It all went well, he tried to keep me warm and I did like-wise, through the night we woke up several times due to the cold and hardness of the tiled floor. Had a few sweet moments despite the fact that we were stranded poor souls.

After all the drama, we went home at 6.40am when the place is slightly lit by the morning sun, and the parking cost $8.50!!!! Felt so silly that we can actually miss the closing time, I should have been insistent on leaving at 1030 or not so insistent on going there. Sigh, what is done can’t be undone.

Came home and had a tongue-lashing from my mum, not about sleeping out of staying out late but about me not informing her that she can lock the door. See, the door is more important!
